Another one of those paintings that made me cry. I didn't really expect that at all, but it happened! She was so striking and seemed so alive. John Singer Sargent. #masterartist #sargent #art

Another lovely Sargent piece, the fabric of this woman's dress is just a collection of loose brushstrokes ('just'), yet it shows us what kind of fabric it is at a glance. Silk of course! #masterartist #sargent #art

'Winifred Cavendish Bentinck, Duchess of Portland' - there are a few lovely paintings of her on the internet if you look up her name. But this one is just magnificent, Sargent says so much with so little detail and our brains fill in all the gaps! #masterartist #sargent #art

Last June Matt and I met up with @himmapaan.bsky.social to go see a Sargent exhibition. It was INCREDIBLE. I can't name this one, sorry, but what's so amazing is from a distance this is almost photographic the values are so spot on, but close up... well, you can see... #masterartist #sargent #art

'Lady Agnew' - this piece usually lives in Edinburgh, but it was part of this amazing exhibition. Her gaze is hypnotic. #masterartist #sargent #art

'La vuelta de la pesca' by Joaquin Sorolla. I can't even tell you how incredible this painting was, again, moved me to tears. It was HUUUUGE too. #painting #masterartist #painter

Joaquin Sorolla - another favourite. He was absolutely masterful at painting light and I got to see an exhibition of his in London a few years ago. This is one of the ones that made me cry. It was HUGE, and it was just so incredible. 'Mending The Sail' #masterartist #art #painting #sorolla

'Fill' - George Clausen. More atmosphere. I just love this guy's work. #atmosphere #masterartist

'Building The Rick' - George Clausen. I love the heat of this picture, the framing and the haziness. There's nothing quite like a hazy english summer (although right now it's too hot haha!). #painting #masterartist

'Afternoon Repose' by John White Alexander. WOW. Big fan of the composition of this one, the fabric again is handled incredibly. Those brushstrokes! So inspiring! Check out his work, lots of swooping dresses like this in it! #painting #masterartist #masterpainter
